Aging in Place

This is cited in the comprehensive plan as a consideration for the new zoning reform in Charlottesville:

Ensure that the forthcoming zoning rewrite supports a wide range of housing typologies, including both rental and homeownership opportunities at a variety of scales, including for families, aging in place, and multigenerational living.

Charlottesville also has the Design for Life C’ville program , which offers partial permit fee refunds that can be paired with the Virginia Livable Tax Credit from DHCD to add incentives to building/renovating homes with Universal Design standards in mind.
